+ \title Generic Backend
+ \brief Information about the generic sensor backend
+
+ The generic sensor backend provides emulation of some of the sensors that are not supported on the
+ platform.
+ For example, on a platform without a rotation sensor but with an accelerometer, the accelerometer
+ is used to calculate the rotation, thus providing an emulated rotation sensor.
+
+ The following generic sensors are supported:
+ \table
+ \header
+ \li Emulated Sensor
+ \li Source Sensor
+ \row
+ \li Ambient Light Sensor
+ \li Light Sensor
+ \row
+ \li Orientation Sensor
+ \li Accelerometer
+ \row
+ \li Rotation Sensor
+ \li Accelerometer
+ \endtable
+ If a platform doesn't support the source sensor, then the sensor can not be emulated.
